Instead he chose to fart around with third and fourth line scrubs. Imagine bringing in a Jeff Carter or an impact defender. That’s when you go for it, when you’re close.

Not even going to discuss Elmer for fear of inciting the Elmerites.


Gillis royally pooched BenningBuilts tenure due to Mikes 6 horrid years of garbage drafting. Absolutely despicable drafting.
Benning had ample time to clean it up and turn around the team. He wasn’t capable of the job.

Hey Cousin this is me riled up.

We all have our own definitions of lame I suppose.

Rile up? Is this your attempt to "Blob" me....do you wake up with a specific need to poke at people in order to illicit a retort so you can have yourself a good chuckle?

When Hughes, Woo, DeepyRetro, Lockwood, Madden, Rathbone, Thiessen, Brassard, TRYAMKIN all arrive next season they will be pushing the next wave - Lind, Gadjovich, Dahlen, Juolevi, Brisebios, Demko, McEwen, that’s when you’ll see this team rocket to a whole other Jimbro level.
Well Demko and Hughes arrived. The others must have gotten lost. I haven’t heard much about DeepyRetro in a long time.

Madden got us Toffoli
Dahlen got us Karlsson
Lockwood has arrived
Tryamkin great pick but chose the motherland over North America
Rathbone - the book ain’t closed
Juolevi got us Lammikko, great 4th line centre

Benning was right to let MacEwan, Lind and Gadjovich go. Bums, I made the appropriate adjustments

Adjustments- DiPietro, Brisebios, Thiessen, Brassard, Woo

Dahlen got us Karlsson -I have no idea about either player
Lockwood has arrived but is tiny and limited
Tryamkin -couldn’t carry Marek Malik’s jockstrap
Rathbone - the book ain’t closed but very tiny
Juolevi was a horrid pick
Benning was wrong to let MacEwan and Gadjovich go. Lind was slow and Elmo blew it not keeping the toughness, not to mention Hague was sitting there on a tee

I was sure wrong about - DiPietro, Brisebios, Thiessen, Brassard, Woo
